I haven't been hunting for years. It is just a tradition I grew up with.

I don't oppose hunting in any way, shape or form. If that's what you enjoy doing, you are free to do it.

Anyone who thinks hunters are just 'bloodthirsty morons' hasn't looked into hunting. If you wait through long, cold hours in the November woods with a bow in your hands hoping a buck will show, or if you spend days walking in the African bush trailing Cape buffalo while listening to lions roar, you're sure to learn hunting isn't about killing.

We have a lot of friends who are hunters. And you know what? Come hunting season, man, they head to the woods, you know. And again, this country was built on God and guns, folks. I mean, it really was.

Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game.

There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don't hunt. We're not gun folk.

You see I'm against hunting, in fact I'm a hunt saboteur. I go out the night before and shoot the fox.

Hunting forces a person to endure, to master themselves, even to truly get to know the wild environment. Actually, along the way, hunting and fishing makes you fall in love with the natural world. This is why hunters so often give back by contributing to conservation.
